Masters of the Country Blues: Rev. Gary Davis and Sonny Terry

"Guitarist and vocalist Reverend Gary Davis and harmonica virtuoso Sonny Terry were two of the great artists of the rural blues tradition; both of them made outstanding records in the 1930s and '40s, while Davis was rediscovered in the 1960s by a new generation of blues and folk fans (many years after he forsake the blues to become an ordained minister), and Terry had carved out a unique show-biz career as a musician and actor who was as popular on Broadway as he was in blues clubs. Masters of the Country Blues: Rev. Gary Davis and Sonny Terry is compiled from two appearances taped for educational television in the 1960s. Davis performs ""If I Had My Way,"" ""Buck Dance,"" ""Where'd You Get Your Liquor,"" ""Oh Glory, How Happy I Am,"" and four others, while Terry's five-song set includes ""Hootin' the Blues"" and ""My Baby Changed the Lock on the Door."""
